Back in the day I raced Moto X and rode in a few enduro and hare
scramble events , I have also had street bikes and am a capable rider my
motto is "Take nothing for granted and always ride defensively" . I have
had people pull out in front of me and all kinds of other stupid shit
that if I had not been paying attention could have killed me . I dont
have the money to take these other safety courses although I do believe
that some people need all the help they can get ...

That's good because there are lots of people out there on the road
(like me) whose motto is "If you're stupid enough to, intentionally or
otherwise, get in the way of my honking great SUV, you deserve to be
crushed like a ripe tomato...".
